Aura Question. Hmm.... Ponder this one.

[LovelyGods]

:scratch: :scratch:
If i use a HOJ which adds +16 to holy fire aura when equiped.

But im a Holy Fire zealot, and have max holy fire.

If im using Both HOJ and my normal Holy fire aura,

Which aura is enabled. The HOJ"s? or the Normal Holyfire Aura? :scratch:

[Pucho]

the highest slvl one, in your case, the player's HF

edit: you can check it equiping the HoJ weapon and switching between no aura/HF

[LovelyGods]

hmm.... interesting.....


i was thinking of holy fire zealot

using the following skills

Conviciton
Holyfire
zeal
holyshield
defiance
resist fire
salvation


i was going to use hoj for holyfire and max 2 synergies
max conviction ( yes lvl 20 even if the 150 resist stops at 25 the defense keeps going)
max zeal
max holyshield (or 10/10 defiance)


so that brings up another question.

which is better? lvl 16 from HoJ with 2 x synergies ??
or lvl 20+ with 1 x synergy.????

i dunno a synergized hoj with conviction would be rly fun, ur aura would kill stuff better, as would u. It would also make an interesting pvp build as conviction gets rid of all resists and defense so you could do all that damage over and over, youd just have to make up some speed for it, maybe a phase hoj?

[LovelyGods]

yes phase hoj adds 33% Ias

u need 75% ias for max fps with zeal and phase blade.


plaing on using 39 x flaming sc of vita / balance.

im not sure what adds more damage 10 x offensive aura gc or 39 x flaming.

max fire damage. :thumbsup:

if i have room im gonna do a 5-5 fire facet in either my ss or my armor or shako. (thats if i use shako or what ever not sure yet... needto figure it out and test)

[OpiuTry_OnE]

hav u started yet? because i am 2 makin a holy fire zealot.. lvl 8 now = P maybe we could lvl up together

[binofury]

i guess if u r uber hardcore to only have fire damage flaming sc alone would be good but keep in mind since u have conviction any elemental damage is good damage. Also instead of a HOZ consider a dragonscale it too adds massive fire damage, boosts ur overall fire damage, and gives u hydras to play with, it would make for a killer time :p i would go the sc route instead of the off gc route, unless the gc's boost the skill of the holy fire on the hoj(does it?). also think about some lava gouts and infernostrides, u can pimp some massive fire damage :p now u got me wanting to make one of these guys :)

[commandercool]

i make one of these a while ago, and i think before you start to build it i should tell you that resist fire/salvation does not boost holy fire from hoj, you probably already know this but im just making sure.

so that brings up another question.

which is better? lvl 16 from HoJ with 2 x synergies ??
or lvl 20+ with 1 x synergy.????

Level 20 w/ 1 sinergy (no conviction)
Fire Damage: 510-565 to your attack
Fire Damage: 85-94.2

Level 35 w/ 1 sinergy (no conviction)
Fire Damage: 1683-1738 to your attack
Fire Damage: 280.5-289.7

Level 16 w/ 2 sinergies
Fire Damage: 435-504 to your attack (add conviction here)
Fire Damage: 72.5-84

IMO slvl 25+ conviction is a waste, the defense keeps going down, but you'll never note the difference:
slvl 25 :-92% def
slvl 38: -97% def
13 skill points for just 5% is not worth it IMO

[belth]

max holyshield (or 10/10 defiance)


Unless you're going to run Defiance aura all the time, splitting the points between Defiance and Holy Shield is bad, since they both add the same amount of defense, while HS adds chance to block and Defiance doesn't.
